Life is busy...but I finally got a little time to sit down & blog about the things that have been taking up that time the last few months!
In March, we were privileged to have Nana & Papa come to Alabama for a 2 week visit! Papa enjoyed hunting & fishing, & Nana got quality time with the kids lifting them in & out of the car during shopping trips! haha
It was during their visit that we had our little Rilynn Nicole dedicated to the Lord on March 23rd.
Nana & Mimi got the perfect dress for her special day. It was a beautiful service...first our pastor preached about family & incorporated it into a baby dedication. We then preceded to take our "vows" as Rilynn's parents to raise her in a Christian home & help her know Jesus.
I was so thankful to have my dad there, to be able to pray over her & our family. We are blessed with our 2 children but more importantly we pray that they will both know Jesus as their personal Savior, live for Him & make it to Heaven, taking as many with them as they can.
We were SO incredibly thankful that Mimi got to be there. This was her first Sunday back to church in several weeks & her first back since she lost her hair with Chemo. I didn't get a photo, but all the ladies in the church wore hats to church that day for her (except a few of us because of the dedication =) It was just so neat to see so many in hats!
Mimi means so much to us & we keep praying that God will work a miracle & heal her from this cancer. We are thankful she was able to witness the dedication because Poppie was out of town for work!
Receiving the roses that symbolized different things for our family.
What a sweet big brother! He does things like this a lot...I only hope it lasts! hehe
Nana & her little sweeta!! We loved having them here.
After church, we went back to our place to celebrate the dedication & Matt's 31st birthday! I decorated the table in honor of Rilynn but Matt's cake was a big hit! Our good friend, Courtney, is the cake maker around here & she themed it around Matt's hobby...horses!
Baby gifts for Rilynn!
Daddy & his little girl...we are so thankful for them!
Matt celebrated his golden birthday this year....31 years old on March 31st! but we celebrated with him a few days early on the 23rd =)
Greyson loves to help blow out candles!!
We had a wonderful day, full of God's blessings. Can't wait to see what He has in store for our kids & for our family.
